With all of the insanity of the world right now, particularly considering that Israel became a nation for the first time in nearly 2000 years, we just really truly may very possibly finally be living in the generation that sees Yeshua, as our beloved believing Jewish friends in Israel rightly call Him... we may actually see His return. So I guess, in that sense, the world truly is running out of time. Time to get right with the Living God. But don't hold your breath. For any of us at any time may find ourselves, without notice, standing in front of God Himself, all alone, no help from our friends, no one else standing there with us.... and having to give an account for every last thing we've ever done, said, or thought. Yes, even all our thoughts and intentions. That, to say the least, is not a comfortable picture. More on parables; in fact this is the last one in the series. Appropriate.
